Best Modern Warfare 3 Assault Rifles
5. BP50
ActivisionThe BP50 is a well-rounded Assault Rifle in MW3.
The BP50 arrived in MW3 with Season 2, and it quickly stood out as an excellent pick. This Assault Rifle has a blistering fire rate and is capable of obliterating opponents in mid-range contests.
It also excels in close-quarters combat, showcasing its versatility and earning it a spot as a fan-favorite weapon modeled after the classic F2000. A substantial nerf in Season 2 Reloaded has taken some of the sting out of its tail, but it remains a top pick.
4. Holger 556
ActivisionThe Holger 556 is inspired by the classic G36C AR.
A staple of the first Modern Warfare series, the G36C AR makes a return in MW3 as the Holger 556. The Holger 556 dominates at long ranges but remains a viable choice for combat at any range. Despite claiming the top spot shortly after launch, several nerfs pushed it back on this list.
Although it’s not as dominant as it was at launch, and the buffs it received in Warzone haven’t translated over to multiplayer, the Holger 556 is still worth using in MW3 Season 2 Reloaded as a top-tier AR.
3. RAM-7
ActivisionThe last appearance of the RAM-7 was in MW 2019.
The fan-favorite RAM-7 has claimed a top-three spot thanks to its minimal recoil and powerful damage output, as it remains a force to be reckoned with.
Similar to its first iteration, this popular AR has taken over both Warzone and multiplayer proving to be exceptionally competitive, allowing you to effortlessly dominate your opponents.
2. SVA 545
ActivisionThe SVA 545 is the first Assault Rifle players can wield in MW3.
The SVA 545 is an easy-to-use Assault Rifle featured in MW3 and became a dominant pick towards the tail-end of Season 1. Its remarkable damage output and low recoil make it a great choice for mid to long ranges.
It also got a slight buff in the midseason update, helping it hold on to its second-place ranking. However, it narrowly misses out on top spot in favor of a true classic.
1. MCW – Best Assault Rifle in MW3
ActivisionThe MCW resembles the iconic ACR.
The MCW takes the crown of the best Assault Rifle in MW3. Its effectiveness took a slight hit back in the Season 2 update, which nerfed its mobility. However, its incredible headshot multiplier was left untouched, allowing it to maintain the top spot.
Just like in previous MW titles, this Assault Rifle has unmatched accuracy thanks to its low recoil, impressive range, and iconic iron sight that frees up an extra attachment slot. If you want a weapon that can compete in nearly any situation, the MCW is the Assault Rifle for you in MW3.
These were the best Assault Rifles in Modern Warfare 3.
